Three Omani men were arrested for overstaying their visas.

Chonburi Immigration Police officers apprehended Arlf Mohamed Al-Balushi, 33; Jamil Mohamed Al-Balushi, 23; and Khalid Mohamed Al-Balushi, 20, in front of the Lido Apartments on Third Road Aug. 17 after receiving a telephone call about “suspicious men” dragging suitcases down the street.

None of the men could produce passports when asked for identification and were taken into custody pending investigation. Officers later determined they’d entered the kingdom on May 27 on tourist visas and were only authorized to stay until June 25.

None had requested an extension and were charged with overstaying their visa before being processed for deportation.

The Al-Balushi brothers (L to R) Arlf, Jamil and Khalid have been arrested on immigration charges. The Al-Balushi brothers (L to R) Arlf, Jamil and Khalid have been arrested on immigration charges.
